Boronia

There are three spacious double bedrooms, one of which is en-suite and located on the first floor, while the other two are on a mezzanine level, three steps up from the sitting area and separated from it by a door. The rooms can be cooled with fans currently present.

The house has two bathrooms, both fitted with marble sinks and high-quality fixtures and fittings. The family shower room is spacious while the smaller has a bath as well.

The high-spec kitchen is handcrafted in local, white-painted wood with a lower run of cabinets along two walls. Located at one end of the ground-floor living space, it is semi-open to the dining room and has double doors out onto the veranda. There is a wood and marble-topped, movable central island, a five-burner gas hob, cotto floors that extend through the rest of the living space, a wooden beamed ceiling and industrial fixtures and fittings.

The sitting room is at one end of the ground-floor living space and has traditional cotto floor tiles along its entirety. It has French doors out onto the veranda and enjoys stunning views out to the hills beyond. A big log fire keeps the space extra cosy in winter. The adjoining dining area also has double doors out to the garden and is large enough to comfortably accommodate family and friends.

There is a second living room on the lower ground floor that is currently used as a cantina for wine tasting. A beautifully proportioned room, it has double doors out onto another terrace and is a brilliantly versatile space. There is a storage room and a utility room on this floor, too. An additional wooden garden shed also provides ample storage space for garden and pool furniture in the winter.
